Kali Patented Protectiion: Composite Fusion

See the Video tab to have Kali Deva Helmet's unique construction explained in 60sec..

Kali Protectives has patented an in-mold helmet construction process called Composite Fusion. Any helmet has two essential protective components: the exterior hard shell and an energy-absorbing inner liner typically made of stiff EPS foam. Composite Fusion™ technology makes the foam an integral part of the shell. This is an important safety factor because 100% of the energy from an impact can be transferred directly to the EPS foam liner. This makes for a stronger material connection and a super light, durable helmet for you. On the Deva ski/snowboard helmet, the Composite Fusion technology is enhanced by use of Contego™ EPS. The Latin term for "Shield," Contego™ characterizes the purest formulation of Expanded PolyStyrene (EPS) to provide an excellent combination of densities for shock absorption.

Kali

Kali Protectives is designed for riders who demand exceptional performance and uncompromising comfort. Kali Protectives came from a significant breakthrough in helmet safety technology, enabling them to use a thinner shell creating a lighter and stronger helmet. No safety technology exists that can completely prevent injury, but they can significantly reduce the chance of trauma. Their goal is to deliver the absolute best available protection to riders.

"So many times when looking at a company’s claim I ask myself “Is this real or is this just salesman speak?”. I certainly can’t make up your mind for you, but I can tell you about our patented technology and why we are excited about it.

A helmet has two essential elements that help protect you: a shell and energy absorbing foam. These two components are built to dissipate the energies of an impact to your head. The shell is the hard outer surface of a helmet and has 3 functions. First, it prevents sharp object penetration. Second, it protects the energy absorbing foam from abrasion. Lastly, it spreads out the force of an impact over a greater area.

As the second component of the puzzle, the energy absorbing foam is the inner muscle of a helmet and the more active component of the two. It does the bulk of the work, cushioning and redirecting the G-forces of any impact that tries to work its way towards your head.

Standard helmet technology constructs the shell (made from various composite materials) and the energy absorbing foam composite (Expanded PolyStyrene or EPS) as two separate pieces. Simply shooting small beads into a mold makes the EPS foam. The beads are then steamed, expanded and bound into the “generic” shape of the exterior shell. This “shaped” EPS form is then pulled from the mold and allowed to dry, and then inserted into the shell by hand (being spot glued or taped into place inside).

This means that during an impact to the head, there will actually be a microsecond of ‘air’ as the energy is transferred between one protective material (the shell) and the next (the EPS foam). The result of this separate-but-glued-construction is a less efficient transfer of energy when a helmet is impacted.

Another unfortunate consequence of standard helmet construction is that over time the glue joints may wear down, which leaves users with EPS foam that is loose inside the shell. In addition to being uncomfortable, it can also be potentially dangerous, as the EPS foam may not stay in its intended position during an impact."
